Michael Marin joined UNB Law in July 2016, after four years at the University of Ottawa, where he was a full-time professor and founding Academic Director of the Business Law Clinic. In 2018, he was appointed Associate Dean and is responsible for administering the academic program.

Before entering academia, Prof. Marin practiced corporate and commercial litigation at an international law firm in New York City, and clerked for the Hon. Ian Binnie, formerly of the Supreme Court of Canada. In 2011-12, he was a Fellow of Action Canada, a program that supports the development of Canada’s emerging public policy leaders.

He often presents at academic and professional conferences in his areas of expertise, which include corporate law, administrative law, and torts. He holds a law degree from the University of Ottawa, an MA in public policy from Carleton University, and an LLM from the University of Cambridge, where he studied as a Gates Scholar.
